Elizabeth Taylor's Movie Baby Gives Studio 'Diaper Doldrums'
Hollywood—U.P.)-Elizabeth Taylor's baby-movie style—has plunged M.G.M. deep into the "dinner dollars."
Luscious Liz becomes a mother in "Father's Little Dividend." That's why studio big-shots are combing squalling infants, fond mamas, starched nurses, harried doctors, and gimlet-eyed welfare workers out of their hair these days.
It all started when the studio launched a search for a tiny baby who looks like Spencer Tracy. Liz is the mother--But the powers--that figured the wee one's gonna play Trace Taylor so she oughta look like him.
Then came the letters from the mamas.
Practically every mother in the U. S., seemed like, has a new-born baby who's the spittin' image of "Grandpa Trace."
He finally found eight, whisked 'em through a screen test, and signed 'em up to a contract.
The studio got desperate and called in Al Trescopy to dig up a little darling. Trescopy "interviewed" hundreds of babies in clinics, hospitals, doctors' offices, photographers' studios and homes.
Then's when the trouble really started!
The law says infants under two months can only be at the studio two hours a day. They can't work more than 20 minutes. And they can't be under the lights longer than 30 seconds at a time.
For this they pull down $75 a day.
No matter Tracy gets $75 for 20
minutes.
Eight newborn babies fell into this soft touch. And every time they re-enter the room, eight mothers, eight welfare workers, four trained nurses and a doctor,
They have to have a complete physical examination in the morning and another when they leave for the day.
Babies between two and six months can work harder. The studio can keep 'em for only four hours a day, but they can work 'em for 10 minutes. And this age bracket they can hire for $50 a week.
"Just the same," said the studio worker in charge of keeping rattles on the set, "T'll be glad when we get back to making movies with people."
